Separate the Coroners Division from the Sheriff's Department and form an independent Medical Examiner-Coroner Department.

DDue to the resignations of the two medical pathologists in the Coroners Division who could not ethically tolerate the illegal acts of Steve Moore as Sheriff, we have learned that the Sheriff was tampering with death investigations, altering medical findings, and changing the results of criminal investigations involving Officer-involved incidents or deaths.

It is clear that the Sheriff has now lost the trust and faith of the community and he is unable to continue to act as the Coroner for San Joaquin County. More importantly, we must now separate the Coroner's Division from the Sheriff’s Department to make sure that death investigations are never again manipulated by anyone with a conflict of interest.
